Activity Title: Name that Part! Created By: Becky Herl
Activity Overview: Two or more students will use one Bee-Bot on one 5 x 5 shower curtain grid to play a game of Tic-Tac-Toe while reviewing the different parts of a computer. Students will navigate their Bee-Bot to where they would like to place an x or an o on the grid. In order to earn the x or an o, students will need to correctly name the computer part. (The x and the o can be made out of paper or simply use an overhead marker to write directly on the grid.)
Activity Objectives: Students will review parts of a computer and reinforce their computer vocabulary.
Concepts Addressed:

Extensions/Adaptations: Have students take pictures of the computer parts and help make the Bee-Bot cards. Have students watch the parts of the computer movie at brainpop.com.
Literature:
I have not come across any recommended resources for children's literature when dealing with parts of a computer.
Materials needed:
Shower curtain grids 5 rows x 5 columns(each square should be approximately 6 inches), bee_bots, marker used for overhead projectors, 6-in cards with picture of different computer parts. Shower curtain grid can be made as big or as small as needed depending on the number of cards. I imported the pictures into PowerPoint and then printed in handout form 2 per page.
